Founding

In July of 2013, on a car ride, the eleven-year-old Robby Eimers thought to himself: Maybe since I do all of this work, I should start a Foundation. He had been helping the homeless for over 3 years already, aided by his younger sister, Emma, and encouraged by his grandmother, Cynthia. He chose to name it The Eimers Foundation, setting the goal to help the homeless and inspire others to do so too. In May, 2015, The Eimers Foundation officially became a 501 c.3 . His family wanted to make sure he was serious about all of this. After almost 5 years of his weekly visits to help his Friends, they realized he was and helped make it happen.

Getting the Message Out

On August 3, 2013 the Foundation's Facebook was created. In the week following its creation, the Foundation had a total of about 91 Likes - quite an achievement for this new organization! He now has over 4800 likes, but as Robby says, "It isn't about how many likes I get, Its about how many people are inspired to do the same."

Messages were sent to the Page and many comments were made, some even requesting to donate to the Foundation. It became apparent that a mailing address was needed. They received their P.O. Box, and began working on the next steps. They now have an office address:16825 Coral Ln Macomb MI 48042 You can reach the office at 586-443-9831
